THE RAPID TRANSIT AGAIN,

Reports from Voluntown, North Stoning- ton and Preston say that corps of engineers are making preliminary surveys in those towns for the proposed new rapid transit railroad from New York to Boston. These men allege, so it is rumored, that English capital is backing the enterprise, that the scheme contemplates double steel rail track between these cities and terminus at Port- land, Me, which may be effected partly by means of connections with other lines This is to afford means for reaching ocean transit at the latter point, the design being to have Q line of trans Atlantic steamships making pean travellers time, distance, rough weather, etc., between Nsw York and the northeast coast. The surveyors say they have found an that promised almost insurmountablge ble 1Sat 5o1ite cles. -

Features of Young Folks Reading.


We have 1880 juvenile members of t! :.
library and they keep US busy. A peculiar
feature of young folks reading is the way
they dcvour books when once they get the
reading fever. In vacation time tho boys
often read two books day. We find them
here as soon as the doors are open, and they
get their books quickly. Tho moment they
get it they'll start into the reading room and
60 through it rapidly By noon they are
back for another book, and getting that they
read it half through before going homo. W.;
often have them back in the evening for q
third book and again in the morning. If
they don't like a book they'll como back to
have it exchanged after reading the first
chapters. 1t got SO bad last summer we had
to shut down on them and limit them to talk
ing out one book a day. Even now school
teachers assert that the first manifestation of
tho reading fever is found in neglect of les
sons, though they do not deny that an ac-
companying manifestation is whettng of
their curiosity to learn things out of tho
usual school routine.
We have tried to direct this juvenile read
ing, but cannot. 1t is a favorable sign of
the times, l think, when we try to get them
to read the books with distinctive moral OF
religious tendency we can't keep them at it
long. A bright boy will look over one of
these books like a female chronic novel
reader, and, seeing the solid pages, declare
there's too much print in it. They turn in
tuitively to the Oliver Optic Alger and
Castleman books, which are more inclined to
tho adventurous and exciting. The children
get all there is out of the library, all that the
founders intended they should get.-Public
